[ 🥺 babyboy... diluc smiles back at shoma. vennessa can be perched on his shoulder today, thank you to all of my cr who remembers her because i never will ]
It's hard to miss. Shall we head over?
[ i will say he was on the way, heh... ALSO I FEEL LIKE SHOMA IS A BIT TOO OLD FOR DILUC TO HOLD HIS HAND LIKE A CHILD, but he does still put his arm around his shoulders and tucks him close to his side as they walk... affection week 🥺 ]
[ i am legally obligated to remember most pets because sometimes your character would like animals more than people in other circumstances. but he nods! also it's fine, he does not seem to mind this? maybe even leaning in a little. affection...it doesn't hurt that he already likes diluc a lot. ]
It sort of feels like it's gonna take a few hours to look at the whole thing, but I don't really mind. It's...nice to have after everything. [ fake-ish nature is still nature. ]
Not that I dislike the planet or anything. It's familiar in a weird way, but I don't mind being outside either. Or, well, what passes as outside. [ walkies! we are walkies, and shoma's already busy taking everything in to assess it. this is partially out of being excited to see it and partially because, tragically, he does assume some fuck is gonna ruin it and murder in this park. so may as well try to get a lay of the land.
but his thoughts are distracted when he sees where diluc is looking and he raises an eyebrow. ]
Don't tell me you've never seen an ice cream truck before. [ teyvat doesn't even have cars and yet he knows nothing. ]
[ this is so funny, he's getting really used to people using him as an excuse to do the things they want to do but he doesn't mind? actually he's absolutely just trying to grab diluc's arm and pull him forward faster. yes! ]
I'm now concerned that you've also never had ice cream, Diluc, and that is an even bigger problem. Doesn't look like there's anybody manning the trucks, so we can probably pick whatever we want.
[ i'm impressed he's branching out, good for him!! ]
There're trucks at festivals and stuff all the time, and the flavors are always different. [ he is picking something mild...a pear-flavored soft-serve probably. ] I don't know if I have a favorite? I like trying different ones when I get the option. They get new ones sometimes, too.
[ sometimes you are poor and ice cream is actually a legitimate treat. ]
[ mood...i was a fool and did not buy any at the grocery store. ]
Wine and ice cream, Diluc? [ he doesn't think it's necessarily bad, but he does find it a little funny. ] You could actually be onto something. As long as your flavors didn't clash, they could probably go together really well.
[ also. look. he will not say no to more. ]
...I like the way you think. But they have to be really different from each other so that it's a whole spread of stuff. Deal?
I was thinking more along the lines of grapes and ice cream. [ though boozy ice cream is also A Thing. ] But, where I'm from, I'm sure there are plenty others who wouldn't mind your suggestion.
[ mond the city of breezes and lushes. ]
Of course. Since we have two fruit flavors already, we should pick something richer. Chocolate perhaps, or caramel.
[ he doesn't know there are ice cream flavors that already mixes both those things together but he can sure find out!! ]
...I guess you could do that, too. Fruit in ice cream isn't that uncommon either, even if it's usually stuff like berries. [ but he finds himself grinning because a.) he likes both of those flavors, he's a simpleton that way and b.) it's funny to think that diluc might have a sweet tooth. ]
I can do you one better. Take a look. [ he's just grabbing an ice cream bar that's chocolate with caramel in the center? it probably also has some peanuts on top. tasty. ]

diluc agrees so fastly to all this. ] Mhm. I feel more at ease here than on the planet. The greenery is a comfort, if not a balm on the eyes.
[ and also, he nods to shoma with a faint smile. his schedule is clear! (pretends we don't have 92834892347 pcs dated monday) ]
That's fine. I'd like to see what there is, and I'm sure Vennessa will enjoy the break as well.
[ starts them from the north side! with the ice cream trucks. diluc is staring at them very intently... ]

anyway, on the topic of "ice cream trucks", ]
...Is that what it is. [ now he knows... ] Shall we help ourselves?
[ it kind of sounds like he's doing this for shoma but rest assured his sweet tooth acting up. ]

I've had ice cream before.
...Just never from a truck.
[ he gets towed along with very little resistance! ]
What's your favorite?
[ diluc is going to be very adventurous today and pick out a mango sorbet. wow... NOT grape-flavored. ]

also weh shoma... feeds him all the ice cream!!!!!! ]
That sounds intriguing. Perhaps it's something I ought to consider something similar, for a future venture.
[ he's saying this 100% seriously for the record, his head is filling with capitalist thoughts... ]
We could get two each, and share. That way we can try more flavors.
[ glutton. ]
